Part 1: AC7A200 Core Board Introduction
AC7A200 (core board model, the same below) FPGA core board, it is
based on XILINX's ARTIX-7 series 100T XC7A200T-2FBG484I. It is a
high-performance core board with high speed, high bandwidth and high
capacity. It is suitable for high-speed data communication, video image
processing, high-speed data acquisition etc.
This AC7A200 core board uses two pieces of MICRON's
MT41J256M16HA-125 DDR3 chip, each DDR has a capacity of 4Gbit; two
DDR chips are combined into a 32-bit data bus width, and the read/write data
bandwidth between FPGA and DDR3 is up to 25Gb; such a configuration can
meet the needs of high bandwidth data processing.
The AC7A200 core board expands 180 standard IO ports of 3.3V level, 15
standard IO ports of 1.5V level, and 4 pairs of GTP high speed RX/TX
differential signals. For users who need a lot of IO, this core board will be a
good choice. Moreover, the routing between the FPGA chip and the interface is
equal length and differential processing, and the core board size is only 2.36
inch *2.36 inch, which is very suitable for secondary development.

Part 2: FPGA Chip
As mentioned above, the FPGA model we use is XC7A200T-2FBG484I,
which belongs to Xilinx's Artix-7 series. The speed grade is 2, and the
temperature grade is industry grade. This model is a FGG484 package with
484 pins. Xilinx ARTIX-7 FPGA chip naming rules as below

FPGA power supply system
Artix-7 FPGA power supplies are VCCINT, VCCBRAM, VCCAUX, VCCO, VMGTAVCC and
VMGTAVTT. VCCINT is the FPGA core power supply pin, which needs to be connected
to 1.0V; VCCBRAM is the power supply pin of FPGA Block RAM, connect to 1.0V;
VCCAUX is FPGA auxiliary power supply pin, connect 1.8V; VCCO is the voltage of
each BANK of FPGA, including BANK0, BANK13~16, BANK34~35. On
AC7A200 FPGA core board, BANK34 and BANK35 need to be connected to
DDR3, the voltage connection of BANK is 1.5V, and the voltage of other BANK
is 3.3V. The VCCO of BANK15 and BANK16 is powered by the LDO, and can be
changed by replacing the LDO chip. VMGTAVCC is the supply voltage of the FPGA
internal GTP transceiver, connected to 1.0V; VMGTAVTT is the termination voltage
of the GTP transceiver, connected to 1.2V.
The Artix-7 FPGA system requires that the power-up sequence be power
by VCCINT, then VCCBRAM, then VCCAUX, and finally VCCO. If VCCINT and VCCBRAM have the
same voltage, they can be powered up at the same time. The order of power
outages is reversed. The power-up sequence of the GTP transceiver is VCCINT,
then VMGTAVCC, then VMGTAVTT. If VCCINT and VMGTAVCC have the same voltage, they
can be powered up at the same time. The power-off sequence is just the
opposite of the power-on sequence.

Part 3: Active Differential Crystal
The AC7A200 core board is equipped with two Sitime active differential
crystals, one is 200MHz, the model is SiT9102-200.00MHz, the system main
clock for FPGA and used to generate DDR3 control clock; the other is 125MHz,
model is SiT9102 -125MHz, reference clock input for GTP transceivers.
Part 3.1: 200Mhz Active Differential clock
G1 in Figure 3-1 is the 200M active differential crystal that provides the
development board system clock source. The crystal output is connected to the
BANK34 global clock pin MRCC (R4 and T4) of the FPGA. This 200Mhz
differential clock can be used to drive the user logic in the FPGA. Users can
configure the PLLs and DCMs inside the FPGA to generate clocks of different
frequencies.

Part 3.2: 125MHz Active Differential Crystal
G2 in Figure 3-3 is the 125MHz active differential crystal, which is the
reference input clock provided to the GTP module inside the FPGA. The crystal
output is connected to the GTP BANK216 clock pins MGTREFCLK0P (F6) and
MGTREFCLK0N (E6) of the FPGA.
